James turned his head suddenly when he heard the movement and looked out, his expression moved.
Then he looked at Du Fei: "You."
With his keenness, he still didn't understand that he thought he had the upper hand and had averted the danger, but in fact, everything fell into Du Fei's plan.
Just after Ma Sangu was exposed, Du Fei had already made other arrangements and manipulated another heavy cruiser. This was equivalent to putting the entire incident back on its original track.
After reacting, James felt very complicated and looked in the direction of the dock again.
Although he couldn't see the specific situation over there, he could imagine that it was absolutely a mess.
Deep down in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, then stood up and took a deep look at Du Fei, and said solemnly: "Mr. Du, I'm sorry to bother you today. I hope we won't become enemies in the future."
Du Fei smiled and stood up as well: "Of course, you are in Europe and we are in Asia. As long as we stay at home and stay safe, I think it will be difficult for us to become enemies."
Of course, James heard the irony hidden in Du Fei's words, accusing Ying Guo of being a troublemaker all over the world. These seven destroyers and eight minesweepers were towed directly to the shipyard and not outside the port.
"Mr. Li is disappointed?" Li Jing casually took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Guo Yong, and lit one on his own.
The equipment that needs to be replaced under the ship is directly purchased from China. At present, the country can produce Type 051 destroyers on its own. Julie narrowed her eyes slightly and thought that one million would be fine. She was about to ask whether it was US dollars or pounds.
But in this case, Yingguo might be telling the truth that this is the past.
However, for Li Jing, driving away the Yingguo fleet was only the first step.
So it was strange that Zhu Li knew that Li Jing was in James and took the initiative to find him.
Li Jiapo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it must be just like that, if there is a problem.
In fact, Li Jing was very vague about the importance of James, but now he obviously meets the conditions. As he spoke, everyone came to the berth where the ships were parked.
Therefore, when the King decided to continue sending Baroness Bayer to Southeast Asia, we received some approval among ourselves. At least in Southeast Asia, no one has a warship that is not that small, and it will not be a good idea to sail out.
That's all, there are all kinds of negative messages and comments directed at Duke Philips.
Without the money for repairs, it would be better to buy a newer destroyer with a displacement of 8,000 to 7,000 tons. Looking at Li Jing's back, there was no trace of the frustration and helplessness he showed just now.
Whether it is in the field of public opinion or in debates in parliament, he always has the upper hand.
Now it's like this. Even if the male king is unprepared and uses some countermeasures, the resources you have behind a weaker front and enemy are too meager and insignificant.
It's okay to sell the boat to make money. I don't care what Li Jing bought it for. At night, the lights were bright, and the white Thames River reflected the street lights on the riverside.
Although the royal family will change in the future, you will still be the male king in name, but the remaining rights of the royal family will be emptied out. Guo Yong understands why Guo Yong suddenly mentioned that, he wanted to laugh at me for selling it for eight million
A pile of scrap metal?
After the next rectification, the shipyard has stabilized and lost some technical staff and management, but with the addition of these thorns, the work has become smoother.
As soon as those ships arrived, technical personnel outside the factory were organized to conduct detailed inspections and evaluations. The construction of the first 051 destroyer was completed in 1968, and it had not officially entered service at the end of last year.
Zhu Li naturally reached out to take it, took a sip on it, and said with a wry smile: "He really hurt you that time. Facing the flood of attacks, the male king's side was not caught off guard.
Returning from the shipyard, I heard another story from the envoy who loved Dickmo.
But then, when it comes to the situation of these eight minesweepers, it becomes so optimistic.
He himself knows very well that although his strength makes him a trump card, it cannot change the attributes of a tool man.
Originally equipped with seven twin 203mm main guns, it underwent a modification. One front turret was removed and converted into an anti-aircraft gun.
Various equipment used under the ship are produced in China, and the same model or similar equipment is used under those destroyers.
Everyone in Xiaojia is a fool, and he can even think of his opponent as a fool. At that level of the game, if you want to hide yourself, at least for a while, there is a way to hide forever.
That time you weren't so angry that you threw the cup, because you didn't even have the strength to throw the cup. Although in the end only eight destroyers were available, that wave was still a loss.
And that was actually the Royal Navy that was once the most loyal to the king!
My goal is a quota in the Malacca Straits Condominium Committee and the ownership of the Riau Islands.
Because this is not important anymore. Before the explosion just now, many things were not destined. The reason why Guo Yong gave the money was not because he wanted to have sex for nothing, so as to avoid the trouble in the past.
Li Jing does not currently have the ability to independently produce destroyer escorts, so transforming existing equipment becomes the best option.
When you get close, walk along the gangplank and get off the boat.
Don't tell me that Li Jing is willing to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars, just love him The money was paid and a tugboat was sent to tow it away, which Julie was happy to do.
The person here is my brother Sulu. He arrived in Kuching by plane yesterday and brought a personal letter from Dick Moh.
Guo Yong waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as it is installed for you, it can be launched and guided, and it can achieve the effect of being under the missile boat."
One day ago, the Yingguo people investigated the cause of the explosion themselves and came to a conclusion.
What's even more fatal is that when you are in a state of despair, you are hit hard again. Julie said with a bitter face: "If you were lucky, your loss would be small."
After standing for a long time, the male king finally took a deep breath and regained his energy. He came to the desk and picked up the retro-style telephone below.
The male king said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, for the sake of England, it's time for everything to begin." Unfortunately, if James owned a steel mill, it was Guo Yong's turn to buy it.
Li Jing was an expert on ships, and he also went out to look at them. He asked directly: "They must be retired for renovation. How long will it take for those ships to regain their combat effectiveness?"
Guo Yong thought about it, but he didn't try it when the time came. Is it possible to dismantle the damaged boiler? As long as it is separated from the hull, I will put it away.
But when Guo Yong looked at him, he didn't seem to have this intention.
This was a sign of coming out of high spirits and then returning in vain, a sign of having no choice but to have enough energy. That era was destined to belong to Dai Ying.
········
Guo Yong stood near the port, watching the nearby warships hurriedly leaving the port. Although the whistle was still low and the hull of the cruiser USS Apton was still huge, it gave people a dejected and old look. Feel.
A humble technical officer in the fleet came to that very important preliminary conclusion. Li Jing raised a finger.
Julie's appearance was not unexpected. Something so minor happened to James. As the owner of the house, Julie might have been sober all the time.
Li Jiapo Ning's mind moved. In those years, the use of missiles for surface ships was a trend. The newly designed ships of various small naval countries were missile ships.
As soon as we finished, we didn't expect that the other party's reaction would be so calm. Li Dingding nodded and was surprised.
That heavy cruiser was the Wandun class built by the British after the Seventh Century. Its standard displacement was close to 10,000 tons, and its full load displacement was nearly 17,000 tons.
We wanted to have a head-on confrontation, but we were very vague in our minds. The other party would easily touch the male king, but it meant they could touch those of us who are attached to the royal family.
Li Jing nodded slightly. It was obvious that Li Jiapo Ning had done enough homework and knew that Li Jing attached great importance to several ships.
When I was silent, Li Jing continued: "You are planning to open a naval amusement park. This ship looks pretty bad inside and is small enough. How about selling it to you?"
As soon as we boarded the ship, we were greeted by two things: one was the arrival of a ship from Xiangjiang; the other was that General Dickmo sent a special envoy.
Li Jing took two steps back, came to the main gun at the back, reached out and patted the 102mm main gun.
As a shipbuilding expert, Li Jiapo Ning was very vague. If the boiler of an old ship of that age exploded, it would basically be doomed. Although it could not be repaired, the gain would outweigh the loss.
I know that Li Jing built an industrial zone in Kuching and planned a steelmaking plant outside.
Julie frowned and thought for a while. Although the steel of the ship cost only one hundred thousand dollars, it was free to dismantle the ship into steel.
The male king was alone, with a tired face, looking slumped at the night in the window. Based on the standard displacement, the steel was worth two million US dollars.
Li Jing frowned from afar. To be honest, the appearance of those ships was not a bit miserable.
Immediately after the end of the Wandun newspaper, there were attacks on that voyage. For example, it was timely and unnecessary. It was a waste of people and money. The maintenance of those ships was sufficient, and it was basically enough to complete the voyage to and from 10,000 kilometers away.
After some complicated greetings before shaking hands, Li Jing immediately asked where the ships from Xiangjiang were.
After saying that, he didn't wait for a while, turned around and left. As for the purchase of this scrapped cruiser, no one from above was there to negotiate. Guo Yong was unconvinced and would say more.
We can definitely get the Wandon-class heavy cruiser, and then find a way to modify it. If we continue to use it for more than ten years, there will be no problem.
Taking away the fleet is only a necessary condition, but it is a sufficient condition. Next, we have to continue to talk to Dickmore. The American Iowa-class battleships were both built in the Seventh World War and remained in service until the 1940s.
Who is the treacherous official next to the King now? Who seduced His Majesty and caused the current result? The culprit is love for the "sinister, cunning and ambitious" husband of the King.
Because it was involved in the struggle at the lower levels of Luandun, the ship seemed to be an eyesore. A few days ago, James, who was 10,000 kilometers away.
Later, the navy, which had been leaning towards you, suddenly issued an order to cancel the subsequent voyage to India and call back the fleet anchored in James.
By the first half of next year, Guo Yong will have at least eight destroyers, eight minesweepers, and several missile boats and fishermen.
Mine boat.
Li Jiapo Ning said a lot, but the main point was not that the eight destroyers must have sufficient funds and complete accessories, and it would take about half a year to restore combat capability.
At that time, a white car parked on the roadside about ten meters away.
Guo Yong blinked slowly, thinking that Li Jing had the idea to go to the Navy Amusement Park or something, which made me a little suspicious.
When Li Jing heard this, he immediately became interested: "Not here yet? Let's go and see~" Bai Jinghan Palace.
Li Jing glanced at my expression, curled his lips and said: "Forget it if you refuse, just treat it as if you said it, they can handle it by themselves~"
In an instant, what was originally called a match made in heaven, a marriage between a talented man and a handsome man, turned into a conspiracy and a deal. Duke Philips, who was also born into the royal family, became a playboy with ulterior motives.
Li Jing's specific plan will be discussed after the ship is towed back. Anyway, what he said was nothing more than speculation.
After passing by Li Jing, he was not satisfied and asked Li Jiapo Ning: "He thinks that the two turrets in front of the destroyer must be removed and replaced with "downstream" anti-ship missiles under the missile boat? "
The convoy immediately adjusted its direction and headed straight for the shipyard. After hearing that it only cost 100,000 US dollars, I was relieved. A moment ago, the call was connected.
Regardless of whether it was Li Jing or the current Huaguo, they were all within the scope of Zhu Li's choice, so Li Jing was just nonsense. And after the fleet had an accident in Guo Yongyan, no one could finally make an impact.
Everyone in the family understands that in name it is a purchase, but in fact the money is Ai's compensation to Yingguo. And that matter is a certainty.
Guo Yongyanning had already heard about what happened to James. During that time, many newspapers wrote about it, which made the incident very low profile.
Within ten minutes, James came and left.
Li Jing said: "One hundred thousand dollars, you are responsible for towing away and giving up the berth at their port." It was just the male king's hesitation that forced those people to compromise.
Those who criticize us with words and writings seem to have forgotten that just a long time later, these articles praising the Royal Navy's rise again were also published by us.
Even the Yingguo people themselves only dismantled a large number of precision instruments and threw them away if they were not moved at all. Eight days ago, Li Jing returned to Kuching from James.
If I were really left to deal with it myself, I would probably have to drag it to the port and throw it away wherever I wanted. Li Jing was quite satisfied with that attitude.
It could be that Guo Yong has no prejudice against Li Jing, or he wants to win over Zhu Li.
But this is not what James needs to worry about. He is just an agent and a tool for carrying out tasks. Later, the heavy cruiser with a malfunctioning boiler was left behind by James.
"How much?" Julie asked.
It was only a brief contact, but he had a very deep impression of Du Fei.
If you love me, you can even find your opponent, and you will be eliminated when you reach the right level.
I'm afraid that Li Jing will put forward lower technical requirements. After all, the space of a destroyer is narrower than that of a missile boat. Although he dares to claim to be the king and hegemony under the ocean of Nanyang, he is still considered the number one person. Male
In Wang's study, is the light in the white room turned on?
The corner of Julie's mouth twitched, what the hell is a hundred thousand dollars.
The profits outside are huge, that is, special steel for shipbuilding. Special steel now costs US$170 per ton, and the price of special steel is even lower.
The full load displacement is 2,000 tons, and the minimum speed can reach 35 knots. Even at the current speed, it is quite explosive.
Li Jiapo Ning said: "Sir, as far as you know, the Kundun-class cruiser uses the highest quality armor steel. It will definitely be re-melted to make steel. If you make a lot of money, you will make a lot of money."
What kind of amusement park is fake? I think Li Jing took that ship back to dismantle the scrap steel.
Although Guo Yong agreed, the ship belonged to Yingguo after all. Even if it was sold to James through a nominal transfer, it would still be rejected by Luandun if it was sold again.
Du Yu said calmly: "That's right. You and Commander Li had grievances in the past and recently. Why did you harm him? It was just a coincidence~"
After a short drive, we arrived at the shipyard.
Moreover, when Guo Yong came into contact with Guo Yongyan, his identity was hidden.
"Mr. Du~" Guo Yong came over, stood side by side with Li Jing and looked towards the direction of the port, watching the fleet go away.
That kind of thing is inherently reasonable. If there is no money, it must be paid out. At that time, it is time for those "sands" to come into play.
Li Jing sat under the car returning to his villa in the suburbs and listened to Du Fei describe the situation during that period. Those two things were not the more important ones.
Mo Ning turned slightly sideways, followed closely beside Li Jing and Du Fei, and immediately said: "The situation of the seven destroyers is generally good, except for the corrosion of the seventh ship, which is relatively slight, and the equipment under the ship is damaged by more than 32%.
The damage rate of the other eight ships is within 10%."
That time, Li Jing was not surprised.
After talking about that matter, Li Jing mentioned the newly purchased heavy cruiser again. foreign ship.
That kind of old ship that was born after seventy years, let alone the hot words, the love is broken, the love is completely damaged, there is no value. Although James is innocent from beginning to end, but who made him unlucky to be withdrawn
Here, who let Dai Ying's cruiser stay at his home?
Because of technological regression, the combat effectiveness of that destroyer cannot completely defeat the 10,000-ton cruiser built after the Seventh Century. Everything must be going well. When the ship arrives, Li Jing is going to see how damaged the boiler under the ship is.
I was surprised to hear that Li Jing actually bought this cruiser whose boiler exploded.
The main reason for the accident was that the warship, which had been in service for nearly 80 years, had an accident due to the aging of its boiler. After losing the most advanced rights, you and the royal family members will inevitably become puppets of these capitalists. Retirement will only depend on the moonlight.
Through the window, one could vaguely see a person standing by the window, who was the owner of the Guo family. Although the fleet was organized by the male king's family, it did not mean that there was no involvement from other factions there.
In that victory, you lost all the remaining chips of the royal family.
Li Jiapo Ningyou dared to pat his chest and said quite casually: "Sir, your idea cannot be realized, but you can guarantee the effect of disembarking anti-ship missiles. After all, the destroyers were not designed to be equipped with missiles.
Condition."
Guo Yong, who looked tired, pushed open the door from the front seat of the car, stood there and looked at Li Jing, paused for two seconds before walking over. Putting aside my character and position, at most with ability and will, Zhu Li is definitely
The top person of that era. Guo Yong must be a time traveler and it is difficult for him to show his prestige in front of me.
Then he reported the situation here, and then went to the dock to see the damage to the heavy cruiser. Guo Yong thought in his mind, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, so he simply asked for peace.
At present, although Li Jing's portable space has undergone brutal development in Indu, the internal volume is quite considerable and can accommodate two H-8s at a time, but the length is not limited.
At this point, it is the same in ancient and modern times. Many people who do not attack the monarch directly, even if they rebel, must first come to the side of the Qing monarch.
The only problem was that the ship was too small, less than 140 meters long, and could not fit into the carry-on space.
Li Jing retracted his gaze from the distance and turned to look to the side: "I heard that the Yingguo people sold you this scrapped ship for eight million pounds?"
Speaking of which, it was quite an accident that Li Jing was able to buy that boat at that price. You know you won completely that time, and that will also be your last attempt.
10,000 tons of steel are priced at that price, and they make it sound like they are taking advantage.
Probably because they are so important, the eight minesweepers are not in bad condition, and the damage degree is less than 30%. Originally, my proposal to buy the ship was just a temporary idea, and I casually mentioned that I hope Julie will agree.
Even diagonally, it's only less than a hundred meters, and it's a huge little thing like a cruiser. I didn't mention that ship just now so that Li Jiapo Ning would know.
When you step on the metal deck, it makes a "ding-dong" sound. Use it if it can be used, and dismantle it if it can be used to recycle scrap steel.
Besides, the eight minesweepers that Ai gave away for free are in terrible condition, but due to their heavy tonnage, repairs are more difficult. In addition, there are no minor problems with the hulls, so they cannot be returned for repairs, but if they want to be used abnormally, they have to
half a year ago.
It's a pity that my starting point and the stage have limited my performance. After thinking about it, I was relieved that it was just a free gift.
Hearing that Li Jing and Du Fei were coming, Li Jiaponing, the director of the shipyard, came to the door early to greet them.
Li Jiapo Ning was an expert, and was not prepared for it. He immediately answered: "Sir, those destroyers are bad. Except for the No. 7 ship, which is in the worst condition, the other eight destroyers have minor problems. They can be used abnormally before the engine overhaul.
At most, less than 80% of the performance can be restored, but the circuits and electronic equipment of the entire ship need to be replaced, especially the fire control system, which cannot be replaced with the latest one. In addition, the main gun and torpedo launch tube cannot be used abnormally."
The main reason is not that the ship is a hot potato in Julie's hands.
After all, the rust under the surface has been stored on the beach for more than seventy years. It is not that the quality of the warship is bad. It would have been rotten by a special ship.
And in the official text, he directly said that the action was hasty and meaningful, which was tantamount to denying the will of the male king without any disguise.
As for the No. 7 ship, which was the least damaged, Li Jiapo Ning suggested that there is no need to continue repairs, because if it is properly preserved, the hull is slightly rusted, and even if it is repaired reluctantly, it will be difficult to ensure navigation hazards.
Li Jing patted me on the shoulder: "Thank you~"
Guo Yong is a very calm and mature official. People like me will only follow the weakest and choose the team with the least advantage.
Of course, there must be real value without repairs, and it would be a loss if the steelmaking was dismantled.
Li Jing noticed it when the car came over.
Before Guo Yong left, Zhu Li's expression immediately became intense.
That kind of Horde-class destroyer has a total of seven twin turrets at the rear and front, and four 102mm main guns, which can be considered to have weak firepower.
According to the agreement reached by the two parties, James bought the almost scrapped warship for 8 million pounds.
